kitne ujaD gae hain chaman ku-e-yar mein

kitne ujad gae hain chaman ku-e-yar mein
kaisi hawaen ab ke chali hain bahaar mein
duniya haqir jaan ke nazren na pher le
thodi si lazmi hai ana inkisar mein


zarron se aa rahi hai wafa-dariyon ki bu
shayad mera lahu hai teri rahguzar mein
ilzam aainon pe lagate ho kis liye
chehra ata hua hai tumhaara ghubar mein


mandu ki sarzamin ko samjho na be-samar
tarikh ke gulab hain ujde dayar mein
aankhon mein qaid karne ki koshish fuzul hai
aansu nahin rahe hain mere ikhtiyar mein


shayad ki kal zamin pe khilen amn ke gulab
har pal guzar raha hai isi intizar mein
'sarwat' jahan-e-ilm mein kuchh kam-nasib log
ab tak pade hue hain jahaalat ke ghaar mein
